Blu-ray Reviews of Blackbeard [Blu-ray]
Blu-ray Review: A made for tv P.O.C-not hallmark of truth.
Summary: 2 Stars
The back of the box claims a true too life tale.It should claim a true too life fairy tale.If ye' r settin' sail for a watered down P.O.C -then by all means mate pick up BlackBeard.This movie is not for the serious real life pirate fan,but more for those who enjoy the old movies that were pumped out too make a buck.When the main Actor (Angus Macfadyen)states(in ex ftrs) "Black Beard was a pirate who supposable lived around 1717"(loose quote),you know your introuble.
In this tale of salty nonescene we are told too beleive.Edward Teech-started his rise too pirate fame as a mutinious first mate aboard the Queen Annes Revenge.He did not have the flair for theatric :live cannon fuses in his cap durning raids,or mass amounts of weapons tied too his bandalleir(which is depicted in many historic documents).He was more or less dumb as a post.He spent his entire career chasing the late Cap.Kidd's treasure.Black Beard also:pursued,Lt.Manar,who was forced too sail with BB then betrayed his captor.Opening of the film Manar is charged with caputering pirates-with his letter of marks from the Britsh command he,s off. Manar's girlfreind(a Swan of a defferent color)forms the love triangle.She wants too be a doctor and happenes too be adobted by a island goverenor,who happened too enjoy under the table deals with pirates.The Governor- wanted her inhertence not her.And that little tidbit about BlackBeard sacing Charlston Harbor,with his fleet of 4 ships.Then abanding most of his crew before meeting his demise at the hands of Lt.Manar-none of that really happened.Nope- this fact based movie shows how a real live Jack Sparrow runs around chasing treasure-dealing with royal governors,teasing women,and bragging.Sorry this movie forgot the Kracken and Davy Jones..they also forgot too Hang good old Ed's head at the front of the ship.
If you can stand hacking your way through what appears too be a lie based movie or just want too splash a mildly entertining pirate film too your collection add this one...Be warned! Ye- will not be getting any A's if ye use this fer a report.Nope for that pick up "True Carribean Pirates" or the National Geographic"BlackBeard""Both sold here at Amzon and both in there own right worhty of atleast 4 stars.

Description of Blackbeard [Blu-ray]
BLACKBEARD - Blu-Ray MovieBroken into two parts, the epic Blackbeard tells the tale of this famed pirate's travails through the South Seas, beginning in 1717. Blackbeard begins with Royal Navy Lieutenant Robert Maynard (Mark Umbers) vowing to capture Blackbeard (Angus McFayden), captain of the Queen Anne, in order to make the South Seas safer. Maynard goes undercover to get hired as Queen Anne's navigator, but not before falling in love with Charlotte (Jessica Chastain), the daughter of corrupt governor of West Indies' New Providence, Charles Eden (Richard Chamberlain). As Blackbeard's crew embark on a treasure hunt, Charles Eden is exposed as being a pirate in his own right, as he heads the campaign to purchase stolen booty from various villains. He also plots to kill Charlotte, whose 21st birthday will qualify her for an inheritance that Eden has selfishly hoarded. All the while, Maynard works towards busting Blackbeard, exposing himself to multiple life-threatening situations. Accurately rendered, this dramatized biography of a world-famous pirate feels darker than other pirate films, due to its inclusion of violent pirate clichés such as people walking planks, and rum-drunk pirates torturing each other. Blackbeard's melodramatic romance between Maynard and Charlotte detracts from the film's depiction of hard-edged pirate life, but there is enough piracy here to please. --Trinie Dalton
